The Fever's musicians are extraordinary, and The Fever is NOT your ordinary party band! We love the music we play, we keep it fresh and fun, and we not only MC the entire event with sophistication, we also offer planning assistance in the days and months leading up to your big day. We are all full time musicians- playing music is our career, our lives and our passion!

Our sound is full, hip, and supremely polished. Whether you want elegant jazz for a refined Cocktail party, enticing funky beats and dance hits for a special celebration- or anything in between- The Fever will create a customized show for your entire event.

Our favorite clients are those who appreciate a variety of authentic and soulful music- we are real musicians who will play really fantastic music for you and your guests. No cheese here!

The Fever offers live music in almost any configuration- Solo/Duo/Trio/Quartet... on up to a 10-piece band! Our standard 7-piece band includes vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keys, hand percussion, saxophone, clarinet and a mean harmonica- with impressive leads & harmonies performed by two powerhouse female vocalists and great male singers. Want to add a little more sizzle? Bring in an additional horn player or two, to bring up the energy and get a fat horn section sound playing those signature lines from the songs your guests know and love. We even offer a percussionist, whose congas and percussion beats add that "can't help but dance" energy!

REVIEWS

I found 'The Fever' while searching for bands online. I was so impressed with the professionalism and response times from Michele, that I quickly booked them for my wedding on 11.29.14 at Della Terra Mountain Chateau. We met with Michele twice over the planning process. She is so organized & professional. We used the Fever for the entire day: Ceremony music, Cocktail music, dinner music, and then...for the high energy party! Everyone is still asking us how we found such a great band! To the wedding guests, The Fever was an amazing band. To us, the bride & groom, the Fever was such a blessing! I would check in with Michele occasionally to see how we were doing with "the dreaded timeline." She was always professional and helped keep me on track (& she also worked beautifully with my Della Terra coordinator). She listened to our vision, & music style. They learned a song for our ceremony/first dance & delivered it beautifully. I would highly recommend The Fever for any brides or other events! They went above & beyond!

The Fever were absolutely fantastic! We received many compliments on the band and the next morning people were still talking about how great they were. They really put on a great show and kept the dance floor rocking. I can’t say enough about the quality but I’ll try and explain.

We looked at several wedding bands. I highly recommend you do this as we were close to booking the first band we saw. You see, every professional wedding band sounds “good.” They wouldn’t be pros if they didn’t. The problem with this is that most professional wedding bands sound like they are playing sheet music and so you get a pretty vanilla version of the song that is close but not quite as good as the recorded version. If that’s good enough, get a DJ.

We wanted our wedding to be a great a party and decided we were going to prioritize the band. We wanted a lot of different styles of music from rock, to motown, Bruce Springsteen, to current pop, and even the Rolling Stones. The Fever played it all sensationally. They made the music their own and provided an undeniable energy which kept the party going. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and the Fever is clearly in the top echelon.

Picture the very best wedding band you’ve ever seen at one of your friends or family’s weddings- the Fever are no doubt as good, but likely better, than that band.

Besides the quality, the Fever was very easy to work with. We met with Michelle and Ariel multiple times and corresponded frequently. They were absolute professionals and made us feel like they had our best interest in mind and ended up feeling like friends when all was said and done.

If it isn’t clear, we couldn’t recommend The Fever more highly!

We had several musicians as guests and they commented that this band was killer! We booked with Michele and the communication was excellent. Ariel ran things at the wedding, was organized and absolutely lovely to work with! The only problem was that they were SO good, everyone was having such a great time dancing and they didn't want to leave!

The Fever was amazing for our wedding!!! Ariel was really easy to work with and super accommodating. I requested that they play a classical song for my father daughter song (assuming they would need to play it digitally) but they played it themselves and Ariel performance was spectacular. I would 100% recommend The Fever to any friend who needed a band. They are awesome!!!!

The Fever played at my daughter's wedding in Telluride this summer and they were fabulous.
They had all the guests dancing all night long. We could not have asked for more. I would highly recommend to any one. Very responsive and easy to work with also.

Thank you, Suzy! K & T's wedding at Gorrono Ranch was truly special. I will always remember this magical night! Thank you for having us be a part of it. I have a special memory of singing Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison, which the band learned especially for K & T. All the guests were circled around and the band amped up the energy and I sang my heart out. The whole night was so meaningful. Thank you again!! Stay in touch- perhaps we'll come play for a yet to be arranged... upcoming anniversary party? ;-)

Best,
Michele & The Fever

The Fever is an UNBELIEVABLE band! They played our wedding on July 27, 2013 and had the dance floor packed from just following our father/daughter dance until the last bus left! We are in our 30s and had an older crowd -- the music played was perfect, and early on in the evening the men (30's to 60's) had their ties around their heads! :) I could not have picked a better fit for our event! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your comments, Kathryn! It was such an honor to play for you and your guests and to be included in your celebration. We had an absolute blast playing for you! What an incredible night. Thank you!

Congratulations to you and Mark! Many, many best wishes to the both of you- cheers!

They did an amazing job on our wedding. The jazz band during cocktail hour was really awesome and they keep the party going all night. Michelle (the manager) was just incredible at helping organize and make the night run smoothly.

Not only did they play a great mix of music and exactly what we wanted, Michelle worked with us to sing a favorite song as a surprise at the reception. She even acted as my own vocal coach! Amazing! I highly recommend The Fever!

Talia, it was such an honor to not only play for you and Dan, but to get to know you both, as well! You're both so authentic & loving to one another, not mention beautiful together. No wonder the NY Times did a feature on your engagement!

I saw some of the video clips from Matthew Moore (Flat Face Films) and I love the shots of you and Dan on stage with the band! I'm so glad you guys did that! It was such a special and heartfelt surprise for all the guests. Talia, you have a beautiful voice! I'd love to hear you sing again!

Please stay in touch!

Many, many wishes for a beautiful life of love, strength and wonder together!

THE FEVER ROCKED! I can not highly recommend this band enough! Michele was so amazing through the entire process. I did not have any help planning my wedding and did all of it myself, and Michele was critical in helping make everything go off without a hitch! From helping me to plan the entire timeline of the reception, from the grand entrance, to the cake cutting, do the bouquet dedication- she was amazing in helping me really put this together so seamlessly! More so, they put on a phenomenal performance at our reception and kept the energy going all night at our reception. They are an AMAZING band and our guests are still raving about their performance! They even learned two songs for us, and I honestly think they played them better than the actual artists!

So, if you're looking for a band for your reception- look no further- you will not be disappointed- I PROMISE!

Lana, we had SO much fun playing for you guys! What an amazing party! You have such fun taste in music and we had a great time learning and playing the Widespread Panic tune! I have a fabulous picture of you dancing and twirling around on the dance floor to that song. You look so beautiful!
:-)

Thank you for all the referrals, too! I've really enjoyed getting to know you guys and your crowd of friends. See you at the next wedding! :-)
